About Me

I grew up in a big family. We moved around a lot, and I feel lucky to have gotten to know so many different people and places. I have a bachelor's degree in English, and I'm currently finishing my third year of teaching junior high.One of my goals is to finish my master's degree. I love going home to be with my family, reading, and hanging out with friends.

Why I am a Mormon

I'm a Mormon because I've seen the happiness the gospel brings. It brings me joy and helps me to have a better relationship with everyone around me. I was raised in the church, but I've also had the chance to gain a testimony of my own and to feel the power of Christ in my life. I have a testimony of the truth of the gospel and am grateful for it every day.

How I live my faith

I attend a small single's branch that feels like family. I work with the women's organization and occasionally teach. I love that everywhere I go, I'm welcomed and learn about the same principals that I know are true.

For Mormons, going to church is more than just an hour or two, once a week. The church is a community where there are several organizations for women, youth and so much more. Watch this video to learn more about what the community means to Mormons.
